Pharmacy | PharmD

The Pacific University School of Pharmacy offers a three-year program that leads to a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree.

Courses are offered in a modified block design, allowing students to study one topic at a time before moving on to another content area. Experiential components are integrated into the first two didactic years of study, and the third year is devoted entirely to advanced clinical experience.

At Pacific, we emphasize integration of concepts, as well as teamwork and collaboration among students. As one of several health professions programs offered at Pacific's Hillsboro Campus, we also emphasize interprofessional cooperation among the healthcare team.

The School of Pharmacy is full accredited by the ACPE. We admitted our first class in Fall 2006. Today, our average class size is about 98 students.

The PharmD program at Pacific University offers courses in a modified block design. The structure provides a schedule that allows students to study one topic at a time before moving on to another content area.
